config/paths-common.conf: Added initial values for `syslog_authpriv`, `syslog_mail` in order to avoid errors while parsing/interpolating configuration;

Note the systemd-backend does not need the logpath at all;
Some defaults normalized (minimized configs, don't need to overwrite values in distribution-related path if equal).
